Ruthless, No stone unturned ... the supporters remember words and phrases like this but our administration and football department promise one thing and once again they HAVE FAILED to deliver the action. ALL TALK AND NO ACTION AT PUNT ROAD! ITS ALL BULLTISH DOWN THERE AGAIN.
The supporters like Hardwick because he was no spin.... sadly he has gone down the same poor road that all the previous coaches went and thats the road to nowhere. Richmond people deserve better!

not sure thast the club ever committed to wielding the axe. it was our lynch mob ::)...perhaps they remain fixated on the end game and a couple of speed humps in early part of seasion isnt going to set them off course...just sayin :shh
-
the club seems to be committed to one thing and thats continual failure. supporters are sick of it. members are sick of it. they said ruthless, they said no stone unturned. Its all rubbish.

Go Tigers

Staggering, poor and cowardly
Even if we win.the club has gone back on its word about players earning the right to play
Hardwick is the new Terry Wallet
Got his extension and thats it
-
Not surprised. It poos me that blokes like Jackon are stilling running round for us, but its more a reflection on the state of our list than the quality of our coach. I would be seriously peeed if he was keeping out a quality youngster, but he isnt.
White and Webberly are not the answer.
We need to continue to go to the draft and add more class to our list. If we do it right, wacko Jacko wont be playing for much longer.

When you get out of primary school and get control of your fingers you might just get to make sensible comments about footy.
Who the hell is Jackon?
-
Cant beleive that Vickery and Jackson get a game.
:banghead
It must be a dream.
I sure Hardwick said that they werent giving games to players this year, or that may have been Terry Wallet?

were blaming you :banghead :banghead :banghead

There is no way I am going to watch those clowns on Saturday win or lose. Dimma had a chance to make a stand, he failed. Surf's up Sat :thumbsup
-
RFC Headline if we lose: 'Dimma sees improvement' or 'Gallant loss to promising MFC'
RFC Headline if we win: 'Tigers turn corner' or 'Dimma's faith justified'
It's all just a mirage folks.

Is this true

Dimma is making a stand. But you won't be around to see the result on Saturday.
Stick by your words and go away and barrack for the scum.
Surf's up......and the sharks are fishing.......for surfers lately. Can you swim fast enough....without your left leg?
-
to be honest right now at this minute im more concerned about winning this game of football and not be the laughing stock of the AFL again.
For this week i dont care whose in i just want to beat these losers and get our season.
A win will only hide our problems but i cant stand this club and i want to tear them a new arse hole
-
hello everybody..its only round 3

:lol

Is this true
It is, robbo mentioned it on 360 the night his article appeared in the Hun. Not surprising, not surprised at all.
Extrememly dissapointed in this decision. This red haired pretend footballer is a joke on our club and coaching staff. He is the worst footballer in the country
If you cant kick, you wont play, yeah we believe you dimma. What a croc.
woohoo bring it, lets win against a rabble and watch edwards and hackson play semi reasonable games to buy themselves another 20 weeks of 1st team football.
ekto, stfu with your dimma is making a stand, a stand on what you dumb clown?
-
hello everybody..its only round 3
Its only rnd 3 mate, but it has an eerie feeling of been down this path before...

Who the stuff are you to tell me to support anyone else but the RFC! I've barracked for and been a member with this club for the past miserable 30 years. The difference between me and you is that I have the capacity to think independent from the spin merchants at the club and will make a stand when I see fit.
Note. this post has been heavily censored by the swear filter!

Dimma one question please...?
Where is the ACCOUNTABILITY in this team??
-
hello everybody..its only round 3

Yep, every year round 3 follows round 2 and next up will be round 4.
By the way, next year is 2013.
-
Just to clarify from an earlier post. When I referred to clowns I wasn't using the collective nomenclature. I was referring specifically to the 4 players I have been harping on over all week.
-
Very poor decision to keep Jackson in side. Agree gutless and full of cowardice. Jackson is leading a charmed life.
-
There is no doubt some players are on notice, unfortunately our player depth isn't there yet and whilst Hardwick has spoken a tough line about earning team places its a simple fact that he doesn't have too much to play with at Coburg. Having said this if we lose then things will get very interesting, if we lose then no doubt it will be the same players letting the team down. This will be when all RFC supporters will have real reason to complain if Jackson, Vickery, Edwards etc. etc. don't get dropped.
As a tigers supporter i must have heard the word "patience" a million times but after only two rounds against potentially two top four teams i still think we need to give the playing group one more chance. Confidence is an amazing thing and i have no doubt that against the Dees which is a team of a standard well below what we have faced thus far that once we start showing some ascendancy then players who have struggled will suddenly find their mojo. Martin is due for a big one and if Cotch and Lids continue their form then i cant see how we cant win the contested possessions. You would think at least one of either Jack or Vickery will fire and Nahas or mini Maric will appreciate a little more space in the forward line then has occurred in the first two matches.
The KPIs this week most definitely will well and truly be monitored for the whole team not just a handful of horribly out of form players. Make no mistake, there cant be any other result on Saturday other than a win for the Tigers, if we lose then this will be the big headline news more so than a win by the Dees. Following a loss Hardwick will well and truly have the blowtorch applied to him by both tiger supporters and the media so there will be no choice but to drop under performing players next week even if it means bringing in eternal fringe dwellers like White and Webberley.
-
eternal fringe dwellers like White and Webberley.
Lots of people thought that Tucky was a fringe dweller at this time - and later - last year.
Be careful what you wish for...........it might just come true.

Snip! Cut out the personal insults and crudity ppl! ::)

Your posts are offensive.
I don't find them offensive. Must just be you Ekto.
What I find offensive are football fans who judge other fans' dedication on whether or not they turn up to a game. If Ruanaidh doesn't like the selected side, then why should he waste his time watching them play. Once the club has got your membership money, they couldn't give a stuff about whether you turn up to the game or not.
Personally I am not attending on Saturday out of protest of the Jackson selection also. Whilst Webberley or White may not be the answers to our long term problems, if their form is good then, to paraphrase Kath Day-Knight, what are they, chopped liver?
-
My issue is this and is the reason I described this weeks selection as cowardly
We were told that players weren't going to be gifted games anymore, games would be earnt
We have blokes that have been poor (actually make that very poor) for the the first 2 rounds but they still in the side = gifting games
We have blokes running around for Coburg who have played good football and based on their form deserved to be playing in the AFL side = earnt the right to a game
That's why I reckon it's cowardly, staggering and poor; very poor
-
Very poor decision to keep Jackson in side. Agree gutless and full of cowardice. Jackson is leading a charmed life.
While I don't agree withe the decision to retain Edwards, Jackson and even Vickery (what would Post be thinking) I fail to see how it would be courageous to drop them. Why is it a brave thing to do? Its not hard to drop players look at Mark Neeld.
Rightly or wrongly, they don't think we have a better option in the 2's.
Dimma was silly to announce the whole "earn your spot" comment in the off season because we clearly don't have the depth to back up that statement.

Perhaps he was wrong to say it but he said it - can't turn back on it now

Wow, another fake Tiger fan.
Firstly, reference to genitalia on a kid friendly forum is OFFENSIVE.
Secondly, we Tiger fans are supposed to be SUPPORTERS, not bloody knockers like the Scum and the Aints.
If your mate doesn't like the selected side........STICK FAT AND SHUT UP.
Oh we’re from Tigerland
A fighting fury we’re from Tigerland
In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking head and skin
If we’re behind
we’ll never mind
we’ll fight and fight and win
oh where from tigerland
we never weaken til the final siren goes
like the tigers of old
we’re strong and we’re bold
oh we’re from tiger
-YELLOW AND BLACK-
oh we’re from tigerland
-
softwick is doing his best impersonation of wallace and frawley
-
What's even worse is that Vickery and Jackson were poor pre season
-
Vickery was going fine in the pre season until he copped that corky, seems a little gun shy ever since....

Sticking fat, please Ekto, no more reminders of Frawley if you can help it.
I am a supporter, I am even a supporter of Dan Jackson, just that he is playing footy like a sheila and should be dropped.
(No offence meant towards any sheila's that can play footy)
Now can you please go back to bible study Ekto and pray for Jackson to get dropped. Thanks

;D Hormones working overtime today, Ekto? Cheers for the personal insults, but I thought you didnt like 'offensive posts.' i guess they're ok when your dishing them out though, eh? :cheers
My football knowledge is based on little more than being a keen fan and playing at a poo level. Like the vast majority on here. What's yours based on? No doubt something that makes your opinion far superior to mine. :bow
Golly, I cant imagine who I was referring to when i wrote 'Jackon'. You seem fairly confident in your own intelligence, why dont you sit down and nut it out? :lol

Not sure I've really been all that harsh in my comment that basically referred to our lack of depth, but i take your point. Your a courageous warrior. its cute.

Well he has turned back on it and if the players and club are ok with it then he can turn back on it :lol
As I have mentioned, I'm not a fan of these players staying in the team but the reaction from some posters is hysterical.
We are not that good. Our list ain't that deep, shifting chairs at this stage.

I agree with you regarding our depth but I'd rather see either a debutant make an appearance (Arnott anyone) or blokes rewarded for their efforts at Coburg (White, Webberley,) than see players gifted games who clearly don't deserve it.
And you are right he can turn back on what he said but I don't think it is unreasonable to see members & supporters reacting the way they are - they feel let down because they believed things were going to be different in 2012, seems regarding certtain things nothing much has changed at all

We might agree or we might agree to disagree :huh
I can see why you'd be peed off to see that team or even ::) a little when seeing the team.
It's the degree of reaction - for instance demanding the coach resign - which is just absurd. Great reading though ;D

If your mate doesn't like the selected side........STICK FAT AND SHUT UP.
Firstly, someone being male genitalia on a forum needs to be exposed (pun intended). Secondly, arbitrary suspension of logic is the great ailment afflicting the psyche of people everywhere. Your card carrying support (and of those like you) of the club is the oxidisation that allows the rust over the last 30 years to form. I've drawn a 'line-in-the-sand' and will stick by it. Until I see a change in selection policy and a riddance of spin I will attend Coburg games (when I can).
-
If we lose this I believe it it was lost at selection.
No way Jackson & Edwards deserved a place in this team this week. Vickery very lucky but happy to give him one more shot. The other two, no way...
In saying that I think we will win....
Imagine if Jackson turns the ball over resulting in our defeat or Edwards misses a crucual goal in the last. Oh dear...

I'm with you both on this one, nervous as hell and won't want to face the world if we lose. Need to win, I don't care how much by but it is a must. Would love to break away in the first quarter from them and enjoy the rest of the game!

Good to see dea named emg
Vickery was never going to be dropped.

Here's the match-ups. Melbourne are named with a 5-tall backline :huh.
B: Steven Morris, Alex Rance, Chris Newman
F: Aaron Davey, Mitchell Clark, Matthew Bate
HB: Bachar Houli, Dylan Grimes, Brandon Ellis
HF: Cale Morton, Jack Watts, Jeremy Howe
C: Shaun Grigg, Dustin Martin, Daniel Jackson
C: Rohan Bail, Jack Grimes, Nathan Jones
HF: Brett Deledio, Tyrone Vickery, Shane Edwards
HB: Tom McDonald, Jared Rivers, Colin Garland
F: Brad Miller, Jack Riewoldt, Robin Nahas
B: James Frawley, James Sellar, Clint Bartram
Foll: Ivan Maric, Trent Cotchin, Nathan Foley
Foll: Mark Jamar, James Magner, Jack Trengove
I/C: Reece Conca, Jake Batchelor, Addam Maric, Shane Tuck (sub)
I/C: Lynden Dunn, Stefan Martin, Jordie McKenzie, Luke Tapscott
In: Aaron Davey, Cale Morton, Stefan Martin, Luke Tapscott
Out: Brad Green, Ricky Petterd, Jamie Bennell, Joel Macdonald
Actually I'm happy Petterd has been dropped and Sylvia is out injured. Both always seem to have day outs against us.
-
Which would make a loss all the more devastating considering this Melbourne side named.
Add Jurrah to the two you named MT whose not playing tomorrow but always seems to have a day out against us.
-
Agree MT on Petterd and Sylvia. Green also.
-
Let's also hope we don't get an ump like in round 14 last year where we couldn't lay a fingernail on Watts without it being a free and he was given a gift ride all day ::). It stood out like nine pins in the return game in round 22 when he actually had to earn possession and no surprise did nothing all day.
While I was just looking up the stats from last year's games I noticed we clearly are better off whereas Melbourne has lost a heap of name players (half their side has changed over the past 11 rounds :o ).
Changes from round 14 last year
Richmond (6):
Out: Browne, Farmer, Gourdis, Hislop, McGuane, Webberley
In: I.Maric, Morris, Ellis, Grimes, A.Maric, Tuck
